Where to now for long term investors of Telstra, page-8827

Benson 1610, you make a good point: Prime Minister Morrison and President Xi have not had any telephone calls between them since the Huawei five eyes security intelligence discussion over access to 5G networks caused by England late last year.

TLS might be a beneficiary of that distancing as Australia aligns itself with the Administration over the $6.5 trillion Wuhan virus reparations. Reparations are never fully paid out just see the Germany and Japan reparations not being paid as part of the Marshall Plan although East Germany was put under Soviet control and Japan’s politics has been unworkable as a result of the Marshall Plan. Cronyism resulted.

That same sort of nationalistic cronyism should assist TLS, VZ, VOD, BT and perhaps SPK/ CNU depending on whether NZ goes back to democracy. other country telcos like SGT, owner of Optus, Huawei, Orange, Eircom and Deutschland Telekom will probably be left out in the cold.

FoxTel remains a terrible capital guzzling investment for TLS. The hostilities in the NEC group of papers and The Weekend Australian between NWS, TLS (part of the JV) and NEC over the NRL rights and the Act of God clause connected to the Wuhan virus, the pro and anti Greenberg and pro and anti V’landys messages.

This is as well as the attacks on the ARU, Raelene Castle and the FFA which are all quite passionate and means the war in Australia over the ailing and failing multi million dollar loss making FoxTel.

The war including TLS is hotting up with NEC another to the ABC, SBS, CBS and SWM clarion calls for a war against FoxTel and these overpaid Sporting millionaires who have been creating FoxTel’s multi million dollar losses shared by TLS and NWS sholders for some decades.

This Wuhan Virus has so far created many wars of the words, TLS better hope it stays that way and the economic sanctions do not cause more profit leakages to the bottom line IMHO.
